Turning your brand / non-local Google+ page to a local Google+ page
If you had created a page in Google+ of a type other than local business or place, and you’ve been hoping to connect that page to Google Maps and get reviews, then you may now be able to connect that page to Google Maps, retaining followers, posts, and managers.
For further explanation, please read the post in the Google and Your Business forum at https://productforums.google.com/d/topic/business/SUYXCmExm1I/discussion, and read the help documents attached to this post. Make sure to note the repercussions regarding the custom URI and ad campaigns.?
